Hello everybody,
I tried running UQLX on Win ME but I had some problems. First of all I discovered
(thanks to Fabrizio Diversi) that cygwin does not install x11 as default. So I forced
the install. Now I am again stuck as I get some sort of error but I can't see what is
displayed when qm.exe is started because the window appears and disappears too quickly.
I have installed a uqlx directory containing the uqlx distribution files in this way:
cygwin
home
amanda
uqlx
romdir
win1
...
.uqlxrc is as follows:
ROMDIR = romdir
#SYSROM = mgg_rom
#SYSROM = js_rom
SYSROM = min198.rom
ROMIM = tk2_rom,0xc000
RAMTOP = 4096
PRINT = lpr
CPU_HOG = 0
#XKEY_ALT = Mode_switch # use this to have AltGr as QDOS altkey
FAST_STARTUP = 0
#DEVICE = FLP1,a:,qdos-fs
DEVICE = WIN1,win1,qdos-like
DEVICE = DOS1,c:/
DEVICE = DOS2,c:/Docume~1/
DEVICE = RAM1,tmp/.ram1-%x,clean,qdos-like
DEVICE = RAM2,tmp/.ram2-%x,clean,qdos-like
DEVICE = RAM3,tmp/.ram3-%x,clean,qdos-like
DEVICE = RAM4,tmp/.ram4-%x,clean,qdos-like
DEVICE = RAM5,tmp/.ram5-%x,clean,qdos-like
DEVICE = RAM6,tmp/.ram6-%x,clean,qdos-like
DEVICE = RAM7,tmp/.ram7-%x,clean,qdos-like
DEVICE = RAM8,/tmp/.ram8-%x,clean,qdos-like
In order to launch uqlx I used these commands from a bash shell (suggested by
Fabrizio):
SET DISPLAY=127.0.0.1:0.0
start XWin -multiwindow
start qm.exe -f .uqlxrc
when I give the command start XWin a X icon is displayed in the Windows icon area. If
I right click I can see a sort of background b/w paper.
When I launch qm.exe the qm window is displayed for a very short time. I was able to
see the error by making a print screen. Qm seems not able to find the rom. Strange as
the .uqlxrc configuration seems OK both for ROMDIR and rom name. I tried a lot of
configurations without success. For instance I get the error
Warning: could not find ROM Image: no such file or directory
- rom name /ql/js_rom (in this case I tried removing the romdir in .uqlrc
Could not find qdos ROM image, exiting
Sometimes I was also able to see an error like could not open display but this happens
too fast. It there a nice way to be able to see or record these messages?
thanks for your help
Davide
